Source control for use with VisualStudio + Xcode?

Hello - I don't know much about source control beyond what I have used at work [Perforce]. I'm looking for a product with the following..

Free
Centralized (server running on the LAN)
Good integration with Microsoft Visual Studio (built-in / free plugin?)
Good integration with Apple Xcode (built-in / free plugin?)

Are there many that fit those criteria? What would you choose?

Thank you for any input.

SVN sounds like your only option. I'd question why you think you need a centralised server, though.

The reason I said that is I like having only one place to make backups from and I will always have access to the server. If those are ill thought reasons then I'll happily consider others!

You don't need to use a centralised VCS in order to have centralised backups. I'll bet you've got other things on your workstation that could do with a backup, though, anyway.

Whilst DVCS clearly has benefits one of the inherent advantages of old fashioned server based is that you de-facto have your code on two separate machines. There are benefits to a central repository that currently seem to be hard to recreate easily with a distributed system.

@Murph: *sigh*... you can trivially emulate centralisation if you want, either with scripts, or through some systems' built-in features (bzr bound branches, for instance).

Well subversion is the first one which comes in mind.

Ankhsvn/visual svn for visual studio
http://developer.apple.com/tools/subversionxcode.html for xcode

Xcode has built-in support for SVN, CVS and Perforce.

Visual Studio has a plug-in for most source code control systems. A free one for svn is Ankhsvn
